Hello lovelies & Happy Saturday! I know I don’t often post on Saturday, but today was a special exception with a special nail design!
I really wanted to recreate my wedding nails in honour of my wedding anniversary, especially as I’m rocking some serious shorties right now. So in honour of the occasion, here’s a brand new version of a very special design.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Strengthner
- Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Essie Speed Setter
- Essie You Do Blue!
- OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
- China Glaze Champagne Bubbles
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Good As Gold
- Essie Brides No Grooms
- Essie She’s Pampered
- Essie Into the A-Bliss
- Essie Willow in the Wind
- Essie Sew Psyched
- Essie Off Tropic
- NailStuff dotting tool
- NailStuff 7mm Liner Brush
For those curious, here are my original nails I painted for my wedding day, & my recreation I did in 2018.
I was absolutely obsessed with my original nails that I painted back in 2015 for my wedding day — it was really important to me to create a beautiful design I would love for years, & years to come. & again, when I recreated them I equally loved the design!
But you know what? I think I love them the most on short nails! Long nails look beautiful no matter what, but trying to recreate the exact same look on nails 1/2 the size really makes them pop! The only thing from my recreation I’m not 100% sold on is the much more yellow gold, but it definitely gives it a more colourful vibe. (& the right amount of sparkle! ✨)
What do you think about this anniversary look? Do you love a floral look as much as I do? I’d love to know if this design holds up all these years later. I certainly adore them as much as I did all those years ago & wouldn’t change a thing about the nails I had on my wedding day.
Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!
